Plant your onion sets in rows of any form, in a location with full sun and well drained soil. Prepare the planting area several weeks in advance by incorporating some well rotted garden compost to improve drainage and soil fertility. Avoid planting your onions on freshly manured soil. On particularly wet ground try growing your onion sets in raised beds. When growing from sets, plant the bulbs so that the tip of the bulb is just protruding through the soil surface. Leave a space of 10cm between each bulb and 30cm between each row.

When planting, enrich the soil with added compost and plant the bulbs 15cm deep. Space them at 25cm intervals to take full advantage of the big flower heads. Make sure the soil does not get too wet or waterlogged, and divide large clumps in autumn or spring.
